Bibek Debroy, PM's Economic Advisory Council Chairman, advocates for a new official poverty line in India.

Bibek Debroy, PM's Economic Advisory Council Chairman, calls for a new official poverty line in India. The Tendulkar Committee's 2009 proposal remains unofficial, and the Rangarajan Committee's proposed poverty line has not been officially adopted. Debroy emphasized the need for a new poverty line in light of the Household Consumption Expenditure Survey, which shows a reduction in income inequality.
